"What're you doing here?"

Why, look, she was behind him.

Machi had, thus far, been outside, watching Nanoha's training session (awkward conversation followed), wandering through the Honey Fields, and...well, doing not really much. Boring day, but boring was fine. She didn't really expect anything, because her brother had never acknowledged her birthday and everyone else was probably, well, busy.

So this was a surprise.

She'd stumbled up on him completely by accident. Lucky, because it seemed he was lost.

"What do you mean, what am I doing here? It's your birthday."

Waku reached into the bag.

...Then he realized that the arm he was using to reach did not have a hand. He shifted the bag from one wrist to the other, plunged his hand inside, and rummaged around.

"Sorry the others aren't here yet. Mayako made a total goddamn disaster in the kitchen and your brother's still scaring everyone away from the beach. I'd give 'em an hour at most before they get here. Maybe an hour and a half, Moji's kinda picky when it comes to cake."

"...You guys...are actually doing something for it?" Well. She hadn't expected that at all. "I didn't think..."

Maybe she should give him a hand goddammit Ari, bad pun with that bag. But she was still processing everything.

"Naturally." He stopped for a moment to give her a bit of a stupid look. "It's your birthday."

He pulled his hand out of the bag.

"Sixteen's the Yakudoshi age on my Earth. Don't know about yours, but here." First he held out on his palm a red omamori. "It's got a clasp. I think it goes in your hair. Don't know, not a girl."
